Description Daniel Lo CLA 2010-10-29 11:15:26 EDT 
Build Identifier: 2.0.2.v20100323-r6872

When an entity is deleted by EntityManager.remove() API, its private owned child entities are deleted when the transaction is committed.  The JPA preRemove event was not fired against the deleted private owned child entities, the applications rely on this event to clean up some relationships, so this event should be fired during EntityManager.remove() when the parent entity is deleted, it will be too late to do the cleanup during the commit via the preDelete event.  So it would idea that Entity.remove() API can recursively delete the private owned child entities.

Reproducible: Always
